Title: CS in CS
Post by: hadid90 on 2016-02-17, 11:24:16

Hello Corona renderers,

I m trying to scatter grass on a huge plane, and the scatter count is so high that corona is not rendering anymore.
In that case, while using forestpack pro we used to scatter objects on a smaller plane multiple times, then use these scatter objects as objects on the main huge plane.
This method is not working with corona scatter. Can i put a coronascatter object in another coronascatter object ? If not, maybe this can be your next feature ..
Also, if coronascatter had a camera limit visibility feature, i wouldnt need this method at all then...

Thank you
Hadi

Scatter in scatter? Sounds like perfect recipe for disaster :]
As for camer frustum culling, you can try this little trick: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,9728.msg62865.html#msg62865

I'm not sure, but maybe the scatter in scatter idea is not that bad. If it could be done, it would save some time which is required to, for example, save a clump of scattered grass as a proxy.
